Eating disorder/Bulimia

So I've been struggling with bulimia, panic attacks and depression for almost a year now, and nobody knows. My family keeps calling me fat and ugly, even though I'm 5'5 and weigh around 130 pounds. And they probably won't understand me if I even try to talk to them. I have no love for my body and I do hate myself, because they are a picture perfect family and I'm a complete disappointment. And the thing is that I moved to a different country around a couple of months ago, so I literally have nobody to talk to. I don't know what to do anymore...

I’m sorry you’re hearing such negative things about yourself from your family members.

You are not those things.

Try and practice some self love if you can & I’m glad you’re here.

Best of luck

You are beautiful and don’t forget that. I can relate to family not understanding. When the people who are supposed to support you bring you down instead, that makes it so much harder to have self love and self respect.

Maybe try to meet some people who enjoy similar hobbies as you? It sucks to not have family support but it’s entirely possible to piece together your own little non-biologically related family, and finding even just one person to talk to who likes you for who you are makes life easier to deal with.

You matter, and I hope things get easier for you soon.
